An NHK representative told me that the 8K version was scanned by Warner Bros. in the US at what is apparently the sole studio in the world capable of doing so, then sent to NHK for color grading and conversion into the broadcast format. I watched it broadcast live at 1.10PM on Saturday, and I will say it looked vastly better than I would have ever expected 2001 to look on TV. But I wasn’t completely blown away.
